This invention relates to improvements in smokers sets and more particularly to a smokers stand which is adapted to support smoking articles, such as cigars and cigarettes, together with matches and a conven-v ient ash receptacle. One of the objects of our invention is the provision of a smokers stand wherein smoking articles, such as cigars, cigarettes, and the 19 like, can be supported in a convenient location and wherein matches are also conveniently supported for use by the smoker and also provides means for supporting an ash receptacle in close proximity to the above holders so that all of the articles generally used by smokers are supported on a single stand. 7

Another object of our invention is the provision of a smokers stand which includes a 29 main standard carrying supporting elements which are adapted to support removable containers for smokers articles whereby the eontainers can be quickly and easily removed from the main support when desired and as quickly and easily replaced.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a smokers stand which includes a main supporting standard having a suit able base, together with a rotatable support mounted upon the standard which carries a plurality of removable receptacles for supporting smokers articles, as well as supporting the convenient ash tray and article holder, whereby cigars, cigarettes, and the'lilre, can

be supported above the ash tray.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a smokers stand which includes an upright standard having a rotatable member mounted thereon which sup- 42o ports a plurality of receptacle members for smokers articles and wherein the standard is provided at its upper end with a suitable handle whereby the entire device may be easily moved from place to place.

l l ith the above and other objects in View, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in the claim and shown 5;; in the accompanying drawings wherein:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of our improved smokers stand, with parts thereof broken away and illustrated in cross section;

Figure 2 is a detailed section on 2-2 of Figure 1; M

Figure 3 is adetailed section on the line 3-3 of, Figure 2;

Figure 4 is a detailed section on 44 of Figure 2;

Figure 5 is adetailed section on the line 55 of Figure 1;

Figure 6 is a top plan view, and;

' Figure 7 is a detailed section on the line 77 of Figure 2.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, it will be noted that our improved smokers stand includes a comparatively large circular base 1 with a standard 2, rising from the central portion thereof, the upper end of the standard being provided 10 with a head 3 to which is attached a looped handle a.

The standard 2 also has an annular flange 5 arranged in spaced relation with the head 3 to provide a bearing surface. A horizontal support is provided which has a central sleeve 6 rotatably mounted upon the standard 2 be tween the flange 5 and the head 3, as shown in Figure 1. The horizontal support includes the arms 7 and 8, which extend from opposite sides of the sleeves 6 and which are in turn provided with sleeves 9 and 9 at the outer ends.

Mounted upon the outer ends of arms 7 and the line the line 8, are the receptacles 10 and 11, each recep- I tacle being provided'with a bearing pin 12 carried by the bottom of the receptacle and adapted to be received within the sleeves 9 and 9. The receptaclelO isin the form of a humidor for receiving cigars, and is provided with a removable top 13. This top 13 has an arcuate partition 14 arranged in opposed relation with the knob 15 of the top to form a. chamber for absorbent material, such as cotton, or the like, which can be dampened to provide moisture for the interior of the receptacle 10. The arcuate wall 14 is provided with a central opening 16 whereby the moisture from the absorbent material may pass downwardly into the receptacle for t all keeping the contents thereof in aemoist condition.

Thev receptacle 11 is in the form of an ash receiver and removably arranged within the upper open end thereof is a funnelmember 17 which has a flange 18 adapted to rest upon" the upper end of the receptacle to support the funnel-like member 17 within the receptacle. The member 17 is provided with a handle 19 whereby this member can be quickly and easily removed from the open top of the receptacle 11 when it is desired to empty the contents of this receptacle.

Mounted on the flange 13 of member 17 are the arcuate supports 20, arranged upon opposite sides of the funnel member 17 and upon opposite sides of the hand grip 19, as clearly illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.

Extending from opposite sides of the horizontal support are the brackets 21 and 21. These brackets have their ends secured to the horizontal support upon opposite sides of the sleeve 6 and project at right angles to the arms 7 and 8, as shown in Figure 6. The outer end ofeach bracket carries a base plate 22 upon which is mounted a rectangular member 23, and is adapted to support a box of matches, or the like. These members 23 may be made in various sizes, whereby as shownin Figure 2, the member 23 on bracket 21 may be made of sufiicient size to receive thereon a match box, while on bracket 21, the member 23 is of sufficient size to receive thereon a substantially rectangular sleeve 24 which will ordinarily be of sufiicient size to receive the usual shave and size of package 7 in which cigarettes are sold. The members 23 are secured to the base and to the outer ends of the brackets 2l and 21 by means of bolts 25 which pass through the lower portions of members 23, as shown in Figures 4 and 7 and then extend down through base plate 22 and the brackets 21 and 21. In Figure 7, it will be noted that the base plate 22 is omitted and the member 23 is attached directly to theend of the bracket 21. From this, it will be apparent that the base 22 may be used or omitted as desired.

From the above description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be readily apparent that we have provided a simple and inexpensivesmokers stand, wherein all of the receptacle and members carried thereby are adapted for receiving and supporting smokers articles of various kinds and the receptacles are so arranged whereby they will beconvenient for the smoker and wherein all of the articles can be moved from place to place when desired. The construction of the device is such that it can be manufactured and placed on the market at a very low cost.

W e claim:

A smoking stand comprising a base, a standard on the base, an annular bearing flange on the standard arranged in spaced relation to the upper end of the standard, the portion of the standard between the flange and theupperend thereof constituting a bearing pintle, a rotatable head including a vertically disposed bearing sleeve rotatably mounted on the bearing pintle and engaging the flange and outwardly extending diametrically opposed rigid supporting arms formed on the sleeve a handle carried by the upper end of the standard engaging"thejupper end of the sleeve, and V-shaped brackets having their diverging portions straddling the bearsleeve and rigidly secured to the arms on opposite sides of the sleeve.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands at Manitowoc. in the county of Manitowoc and State of il is'consin.
